It's not an engineering problem; the road to producing quality software 
isn't particularly difficult or misunderstood -- Instead, it's purely a 
matter of management not willing to invest the money (and/or time) to do 
things right, because they have no reason to care once money changes 
hands.

This won't change until the government steps in with a mandata backed by 
very large penalties.. with a couple of high-profile heads impaled on 
pikes to drive home their willingness to enforce.
